Winter QoTD #15
In most renditions of emoji X, it is made to resemble a very famous Symbolist era painting; also considered as a Mona Lisa for these modern, anxious times.
The artist has painted this piece in 3 different forms one of which has been stolen twice now. The painting features an unusual hue for the sky which scholars have interpreted to be due to the geographical setting or a psychological reaction to an event in their family.
The artist merely saw it as a call from nature.
ID X, the emoji.

Winter QoTD #13
A recurring enemy in Square Enix’s Final Fantasy series, X is inspired by a dish dating back to the Roman Empire.
In the middle ages, in Spain, after the introduction of caramelised sugar to a then-called creamy dish gave birth to what we today know as X.
German for ‘flat cake’, X can be considered to be two different dishes based on where you order it from. In Latin American context, it is similar to a custard. Whereas in Britain, it is more similar to a tart.
“Two entrees. One X“ is cold.
However, in reference to the above line, X couldn’t possibly be had alone.
ID X.

Question 9, Winter League 2022
In 2022, an ARG (Alternate Reality Game) was launched on their discord by the band J eight days before the release of their new song K, part of whose lyrics were part of the ARG. The final solution to the ARG was the music video poster that was released as the solution along with the song release.
The lyrics video on the other hand, was released on K awareness day.
The premise of the song revolves around K slicing and dicing other K; one of which the listener may relate to.
P.S. The artwork of the lyrics video is a boogie.
Identify K by J.

Question 7, Winter League 2022
A popular animated kids show, this show is one of the few shows to have begun online before hitting the cable. Among other repetitive elements the show is renowned for, a characteristic element distinctive to the online version is still maintained in every TV episode aired.
Coincidentally, the colour of this element is iconically the show’s first of many words introduced to the audience.
Can you find the show and the element being spoken of?

Winter QoTD #9
The creator of the brand X was humoured to have an addiction to flightless birds which led to the logo of X being one.
The name of this mascot/logo, Y, is attributed to the way it looks: like it’s wearing a Y.
The reason the creator chose to have this flightless bird as a logo was because it looked familiar: a slightly chonky being sitting down after a heavenly meal.
ID the brand X and name of the mascot Y.

Question 5, Winter League 2022
The French businesswoman who popularised the sporty, casual chic as the feminine standard of style, demanded her brand to produce “a woman’s perfume, with a woman’s scent”.
On 5th May, 1921, her brand claims to have produced the epitome of this idealised scent available in 5 different interpretations.
ID the businesswoman, her brand and the legendary perfume; the very essence of femininity.
And with this, we finish the Winter League questions for the first weekend. We will resume with QoTDs from tomorrow 12 PM after a pretty intense quizzing. The Winter League will continue next Saturday [17 Dec 2022].
Winter QoTD #4
This satiric animated show’s art style involves a flat paper look for all the elements. Rather than a creative choice in modern animation, this art style was largely attributed to the pilot episode.
The creators of the show spent over three months in a small animation studio in Denver cobbling together various construction paper cutouts to create the pilot. Literally thousands of frames were shot to assemble an entire episode, as pieces were moved and swapped out in stop-motion fashion.
ID the show.

Summer Mini-League #2, Question 4
Born in Weymouth, England (2008) to two loving parents, and died at the age of 2, X’s main claim to fame was his alleged ability to “predict” football match results. This oracle picked winners by selecting, opening, and entering a transparent plastic box with a hinged lid, in which a country’s flag is placed along with a parcel of food and the 2014 FIFA World Cup led to worldwide coverage of his activities.
With a success rate of 85.7% (12 out of 14 matches predicted correctly) and a primarily seafood diet, he lived a good life.
Identify X.
